KJ Biermann fights to block forensic interviews of minors in sexual battery case
KJ Biermann, 15, is appealing a judge’s decision to allow prosecutors to conduct forensic interviews of minor children in his sexual battery case. The appeal lets him challenge the ruling before the criminal case concludes; the Georgia Court of Appeals has not yet decided the underlying dispute.
Prosecutors requested the interviews on 17 September, and a Fulton County judge approved them on 5 October. KJ faces seven charges, has pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations. His three younger siblings filed a separate appeal the same day, but court documents do not clarify whether they are among the children prosecutors seek to interview or what ruling their appeal challenges. A status hearing is set for 20 January 2027, followed by a final plea on 10 February.
In short
- KJ Biermann is appealing an order allowing interviews of minors.
- His three younger siblings have filed a separate appeal.
- The appeals court has not ruled on the disputes.
